At every , there are sports that stand out from the pack. Enter: —which had a hugely successful debut at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires and was eventually added to the Summer ’24 Olympic Games program. As the sport debuts on the Olympic stage, fans are wondering whether it will make an appearance at the 2028 Los Angeles Games too.
Here’s what we know about breaking’s Olympics future. Will breakdancing be a sport at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics? Sadly, the answer right now is no because breaking isn’t on the schedule for L.A.
2028 right now. How-ev-er (!!!), there is still hope that a successful introduction in Paris could help it return for the 2032 Games in Brisbane, Australia. According to , “Our campaign to be added to Brisbane 2032 has already begun and is being ably led by our first vice president and resident Australian Tony Tilenni.
” “Initial reactions from all participants to the breaking presentations, including Brisbane officials at the Australian Olympic Committee’s one year to go to Paris 2024 celebrations, have been highly optimistic about our chances of being added to these Games,” he added. Here’s hoping things work in their favor! Has anyone said anything about the news? Right now, it seems as though the breakdancers themselves are truly zeroed in on the fun of being at this year’s competition. “I’m just focused on the Paris 2024 Olympics,” said Team USA’s Victor Montalvo (aka B-boy Victor), the highest-ranked U.
S. male breaker in the world *and* the first person to qualify for Team USA breaking in the Olympics (per ) . “For us, it was shocking that we were even in the Olympics because we never expected it at all.
So we’re just appreciative.” “I just want to make sure that everyone understands what this dance is about and what hip-hop is about. Because it’s all about peace, unity, and having fun,” he continued.
WDSF President Shawn Tay shared similar statements when he spoke about L.A.’s decision back in May 2023 even prior to the Paris Olympics.
“Ensuring the success of breaking’s Olympic debut at Paris 2024 is on the forefront of the WDSF agenda. Our performance in Paris will define the future of dance sport within the Olympic Movement, and it is imperative that we must work together to do everything within our power to exceed expectations next summer on the Place de la Concorde.” “By doing so, we will demonstrate on the dance floor that breaking, a sport popular among youths from diverse backgrounds and a sport rooted in beautiful values such as inclusivity, is a perfect fit for the Olympic Games.
” Which sports be featured at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics? Good Q! The Los Angeles Games will reportedly feature the debut of flag football and squash as optional sports along with baseball/softball, cricket, and lacrosse. Sadly, that’s pretty much all we know about the future of breaking at the Olympics, but fingers crossed it gets the global stage again in the future!.
